Peacefully with family at his side, after a brief battle with pneumonia on Sunday, December 4th, 2016 at University Hospital in his 87th year. The son of the late Teresa (McPhee) and Joseph, Tony was born in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia but spent his adult life in Toronto, Winnipeg and London.

Sadly missed by Estrella. He is survived by his brother Basil and family of Chicago, Illinois and many nieces and nephews and their families in the Maritimes. Predeceased by siblings: Ronald, Joseph, Edward, Gerald and Loretta Fitzgerald. Also predeceased by his former wife, Joyce McLeod in 2009. The family would like to thank the staff at Middlesex Terrace in Delaware for their warm support during his short but comfortable residency and to the wonderful medical team at University Hospital for their care and attention. Visitation will be held on Thursday, December 8th, 2016 from 11:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. at WESTVIEW FUNERAL CHAPEL, 709 Wonderland Road North, London.

Doris RogersTony and I belonged to the same program. What a joy he was to know. My deepest sympathies to his family. May he rest in peace.

Janice (McLeod) ChisholmWe were saddened to hear of Uncle Tony's passing. Although, we didn't see much of one another he was still thought of. Our son, Jeff Chisholm, played Baseball in London on the Canada Games team and I looked Tony up and we did get together that week at his home in London and at the ball field.
Please accept our heartfelt thoughts and prayers and may his soul rest in peace.
